Speaker: Andrew Tutt, Head of the Division of Breast Cancer Research and Director of the Breast Cancer Now Toby Robins Research Centre at the ICR, London Talk
Host: Violeta Serra / Judith Balmaña
Professor Tutt has developed a translational laboratory for triple negative breast cancer. He leads a clinical trial programme focusing on TNBC and cancers associated with functional deficiencies in BRCA1 and BRCA2.
He also leads translational laboratories at both the ICR and KCL, studying BRCA1 and BRCA2 associated TNBC forms of breast cancer. Andrew’s group publishes in high impact journals regularly and amongst their latest work they published a new TNBC target, PIM1 kinase, in Nature Medicine in November 2016.
He is Chief Investigator for the recently reported multicentre UKCRN ”Triple Negative Trial” and is Global Study Chair of the ‘OlympiA’ study – an adjuvant PARP inhibitor trial in patients with germline BRCA 1/2 mutations and breast cancer.
